Ah, you want a circular text object...well, shapes.inc includes a 
Circle_Text() macro, but it makes a circle in the plane of the text. It 
shouldn't be hard to modify to wrap text in this way, though.
The text object is pretty limited though, you might want to just make 
your own text from CSG or use a third party mesh editor.
